RealTunes2.8 - App Store

The best sheet music reader for the iPad and iPhone keeps getting better. RealTunes is your assistant for creating your own virtual fake book in which you can view and listen to examples of all the music in your library.

Your Library
========
RealTunes includes a handful of public domain example files to get you started.

Starting in v2.0, RealTunes also allows you to add indexes (by title and composer) for many of your favorite fake books. Indexes are available for popular titles available in CD-ROM, digital download, and printed book form. RealTunes enables you to build and manage an almost limitless library of indexed PDF sheet music.

IMPORTANT:
========
Aside from the public domain examples, the PDF sheet music content for the indexes is not provided with RealTunes! That material is under copyright and must be purchased separately by the user. Once obtained, the PDF content can easily be imported into the app.

Importing Sheet Music Files
========
Sheet music content can easily be imported via external devices or servers, such as USB flash drives and a number of cloud storage providers (iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc).

Apple Music Integration
========
Browse and listen to titles from your RealTunes library from the Apple Music Catalog.

Other Features
========
. Organize your music the way you want with Tune Lists. Make your own lists as easily as creating a playlist in iTunes.
. Tune Info Editing - For any user files you have added, you may now edit the title as well as add composer information.
. Thumbnail Scrolling - For multi-page PDF files, you can quickly scroll through thumbnail images to get right to the page you want.
. AirTurn Pedal - Support for the AirTurn page turning pedals has been improved.
. Apple Music Integration - Searching and listening to titles in the Apple Music Catalog has been much improved.
. Contextual Help - Much of the Help content is now available right in the places where you need it. Just look for the help icon on any screen.

Whether you are a beginning student or a seasoned professional musician, RealTunes is your study guide for the vast repertoire that makes up the jazz idiom.

. RealTunes is available in many countries. The selection of music in the Apple Music Catalog may vary by country
